Ethics watchdogs, consumer groups, and the rational public erupted in fury at the Trump administration’s outrageous abuse of influence and power to benefit the finances of the First Lady Daughter.

Now, Ivanka has found herself the subject of a class-action lawsuit filed by Modern Appealing Clothing in San Francisco, quite reasonably arguing that the White House’s support of Ivanka’s brands constitutes “unfair competition”and seeks “unspecified damages” for California-based women’s clothing shops – and most significantly, an“order preventing the Ivanka Trump brand from being sold in California.”

It is yet unclear whether or not Trump will be dispatching Attorney General Jeff Sessions to argue on his daughter’s behalf.

The intervention of the White House on behalf of Ivanka’s businesses is a disgusting show of nepotism that flies in the face of all the empty platitudes about the wonders of the free market that Trump and his fellow Republican preach as an excuse to rid the American people of their healthcare.

It just goes to show that hypocrisy is the name of the game when it comes to Trump and his family’s greedy schemes to fill their pockets with the American people’s money.

Don’t let Trump fire Special Prosecutor Mueller

Special Prosecutor Mueller has found enough evidence to bring charge in his investigation of the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia, but President Trump has openly talked of firing Mueller before he can bring justice. Don’t let him! Demand Congress pass a law preventing Trump from firing Mueller before it’s too late.
